One of the most brillant minds of our time.
Enjoy reading Dr. Vieira's take on Donald Trump,immigration and our Constitution
One assaulted by such rosy descriptions and predictions would do well, though, to recall the warning voiced by the Trojan priest Laocoon, urging his imprudent countrymen not to haul the Wooden Horse within the walls of Troy: “Quidquid id est, timeo Danaos et dona ferentes”—“whatever it is, I fear the Greeks, even bearing gifts”. I, for one, sense that Mr. Trump understands this, even if perhaps he has never read Virgil’s Aeneid.

Oh! I am so sorry to hear of his passing! Prayers to family and friends....
? obit?
Mene, Mene, Tekel ...
We choose whether the last word it Trump or Islam.
I read about 2/3 of his long opinion, and fe;t that is said one thing, many times over.
What he said is that congress has the right and the duty to restrict the entrance into the country of any foreigner into this country for any reason it chooses. Perod. I did not see where it says that the executive branch must enforce any immigration laws passed by Congress.
Weird thing thought here- I do believe Obama issued some type or a number of executive orders on immigration policies.
You have read well but what you fail to grasp is a act of omission not “commission” by any & all legal enforcement agencies within the USA where the president has or thru his proxies instructed Border Patrol to stand down and let any & all immigrants in for processing.
When a country cannot control it’s own borders it is not a country -it therefore becomes a piece of lawless land.
But I did miss the essential theme presented by Vieira, thay a country without firm borders is not a country.
For the individual human it is only when one says "NO" that the boundary defining one as a person comes into view. I see your point, that Obama (and his predecessors) have set us up as a wasteland with porous borders enticing criminals of all kind to come and take the physical and spiritual riches that our forefathers have banked up as a heritage for their progeny, and instead are giving it--nay, throwing it--away.
Obama and his crew have cleared the decks for the battle which now must be fought to keep the last remains of that which has been accumulated by self-sacrifice.
Thanks for making a point of this perspective.
So sorry your friend died, noob.
